Chinese President Xi Jinping assured an "unwavering" commitment to strengthening relations with North Korea. This guarantee was conveyed through a message addressed to North Korean leaders.
Xi's message comes after several months of intensified contacts between the two countries. This diplomatic rapprochement represents a significant moment in bilateral relations.
The context of this message is linked to Xi's visit to Pyongyang, which marked the first visit by the Chinese leader to North Korea in seven years. This visit symbolized a return to high-level contact between the two countries after a prolonged period of reduced cooperation.
